German rock legends, The Scorpions, are gearing up to mark an incredible milestone – their 60th anniversary. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the band is releasing a new album titled “From the First Sting” on September 26. This 16-track collection will feature a mix of classic hits as well as fresh material, showcasing the band’s enduring appeal and musical evolution.
In addition to the album release, The Scorpions are also set to take the stage in Las Vegas for a special residency at Planet Hollywood.
